Bravo for the upgrade. The collection of
scholarly titles as well as journals of
historical interest will appeal to a broad
spectrum of researchers, and digitized access to
a full-text archive only makes it sweeter. With a
brand new interface, search enhancements,
improved features and tools, searchable full
text, and new collections, these two products
have only gotten better. PAO and PIO certainly
deserve an opportunity to wow your
patrons. NetConnect, January 16, 2006
PCI Full Text is a major resource that will be
extraordinarily useful in academic libraries.
Content is scholarly and international, the back
file is impressive, searching is straightforward,
and the content is expanding. A must have
for large public and academic libraries. Lib
